FOREWORD 


f  I  ^HE  purpose  of  Herringshaw's  City  Blue  Book 
of  Biography  is  to  present  in  one  volume,  and 
in  condensed  form,  a  standard  work  of  Biographical 
Reference,  giving  appropriate  notices  of  all  those 
who  are  identified  in  any  capacity  with  Chicago's 
Educational,  Social,  Civil,  Professional,  Financial, 
Industrial  and  Commercial  affairs. 

The  work  contains  an  Alphabetical  Record  of 
Chicago's  Business  Men,  Merchants,  Manufacturers, 
Builders,  Financiers,  Lawyers  and  Jurists,  Physicians, 
Clergymen,  Educators  and  other  Progressive  Citizens 
who  hold  positions  of  trust  and  honor  in  their  chosen 
vocation  in  the  various  lines  of  human  effort. 

These  Representative  Citizens  of  character  and 
influence,  by  their  enterprise  and  thrift,  by  their 
activity  and  sagacity  in  business,  and  by  their  zeal 
in  educational,  social  and  public  matters,  have  con- 
tributed vastly  to  the  moral,  spiritual  and  material 
prosperity  of  the  community  in  which  they  live. 

As  Builders  and  Merchants,  they  have  erected 
buildings  and  illumined  the  marts  of  trade;  in  the 


field  of  Science  and  Medicine  they  have  obtained 
great  prominence;  in  the  arena  of  Statesmanship  they 
have  produced  men  of  thought  and  men  of  action; 
while  at  the  Bar  and  in  the  administration  of  Justice 
they  have  shown  erudition  and  wisdom.  As  Clergy- 
men, Educators  and  Lecturers  they  have  occupied 
high  places;  and  as  Artists,  Musicians,  Composers 
and  Authors  they  have  contributed  profusely  to 
social  life. 

Of  many  men  more  might  have  been  written. 
But  where  not  enough  has  been  said,  the  fault  must 
be  attributed  to  the  indifference  of  the  person  mostly 
interested.  The  Editor  is  only  too  pleased  to  receive 
Data  to  the  end  that  each  and  everyone  may  receive 
due  recognition  and  an  authentic  record. 

We  feel  confident  that  this  authentic  collection 
of  Chicago's  foremost  leaders  of  Life  and  Thought 
will  be  an  invaluable  acquisition  to  current  Litera- 
ture, and  will  meet  with  a  hearty  welcome  at  the 
hands  of  an  intelligent  public. 

With  such  continued  and  courteous  co-operation 
and  support  our  best  efforts  will  be  directed  in  mak- 
ing Herringshaw's  City  Blue  Book  of  Biography 
more  and  more  complete  from  year  to  year.
